## Todd Revision Notes

Todd wants voiceover left off reels for now until Soft Haven Living has the right voice provider or human voice master and more traction. He also wants every video or reel approval to include musical options. For this pending TikTok, Todd specifically said Etta James' `A Sunday Kind Of Love` style and elegance are the direction, and that the song would go well with this item.

## Correction Made

V10 converts the Day 2 TikTok/Shorts item from a voice-master blocker into a music-only approval path. It keeps the same entryway-only visuals, caption, CTA, timing intent, text-overlay sequence, and no-link guardrails, but removes voiceover from the posting plan.

Todd requested the visible white rectangle at the bottom of the review video be removed and the footage movement be made smoother. The active timing reference was regenerated with no white lower-third box, gentler eased movement, and short crossfades to reduce jumpy/glitchy frame changes.

The included local video is a silent timing reference. It does not embed Etta James or any other copyrighted commercial audio into the exported MP4. Mission Control Mobile must only offer Etta James-style candidates from a platform approved business/commercial music library, such as TikTok Commercial Music Library for TikTok. Apple/iTunes/general-library song previews are not acceptable posting-audio proof. Final music must be selected as platform-native audio inside TikTok/Reels/Shorts when the item is posted or staged, and Steve must verify the exact sound is business-safe before any public posting.

Mission Control Mobile must show music choices as business-library candidate highlight options, not only as text. Todd can tap between TikTok/Reels-safe candidates under the separate `day2-tiktok-short-music` selection target. Those taps are not approvals and should not wake Steve. The highlighted choice becomes the chosen candidate only when Todd taps the main reel approval button, such as `Approve Today` or `Approve for Next Window`; posting is still blocked until the exact platform sound is verified as non-infringing and approved for business/commercial use.

No posting, scheduling, links, affiliate disclosures, DMs, replies, product tags, audio embedding, or external account actions were taken.

## Music Options

Etta James is the taste reference, not approved posting audio by default. Current TikTok Commercial Music Library/business-safe candidates to verify in the SHL posting account:

1. `Takes Forever` - Subyub Lee
   - Source: TikTok Commercial Music Library search result, U.S., Chill R&B/Soul.

2. `Love on the Weekend` - Aria Ohlsson
   - Source: TikTok Commercial Music Library search result, U.S., Chill R&B/Soul.

Fallback: Steve must search the exact posting platform for the closest approved jazz/soul or vintage-soul track and verify the business/commercial-use status before posting.

## Shot List

| Time | Visual | Text overlay |
|---|---|---|
| 0:00-0:04 | `frame-01-entry-hero.jpg`, slow push-in on full entryway | Entry look-for-less idea |
| 0:04-0:09 | `frame-02-entry-details.jpg`, pan across mirror and console | Start with the big shapes |
| 0:09-0:14 | `frame-02-entry-details.jpg`, crop toward basket, lamp, and blue accent | Add texture + one soft accent |
| 0:14-0:19 | `frame-03-entry-save.jpg`, settle on the completed look | Calm, collected, repeatable |
| 0:19-0:24 | `frame-03-entry-save.jpg`, hold for CTA | Comment ENTRY for the source list |

## Caption

A designer-inspired entry without the full designer price: arched mirror, natural wood, woven texture, soft lighting, and one quiet coastal accent. Simple photo slideshows like this are the easiest way to start posting consistently.

## CTA

Comment `ENTRY` if you want a look-for-less source list.

## Approval Scope

Todd approval applies only to this V10 music-only TikTok/Shorts package: the silent timing reference, three source frames, 24-second slideshow sequence, movement plan, text overlays, caption, CTA, hashtags, no-link guardrails, and selected business-library music candidate.

After Todd approves V10 and Steve verifies the exact selected platform-native audio is approved for business/commercial use inside the posting account, Steve may place the item into the next natural TikTok/Shorts window. Separate Todd approval is still required before adding source links, affiliate links, product tags, disclosures, auto DMs, auto replies, caption changes, CTA changes, or reuse on another platform.
